    I remember previously, it may have been when there was all trouble with the banks crashing, a similar thing happened and how everyone switched from the main supermarkets to Aldi and Lidle, maybe we should all do the same again.

    You're being ripped off by your supermarkets over there. Sainsburys in Bridgend across here are charging £1.35 for both fuels.

    Ive missed fuelling up twice! First time on empty and in need 80 litres +25 litre drum as they had closed 2 mins before [ shut everything off ] second time had refuelled in Tesco because wasorange light empty, after filling up [well 10 litres actually ] in CHURCHILL having missed Rowbwerrow! The next day my mate in Cheddar we should go Caanington our old school open on the Saturday!
    TESCO had reduced to £141.99. rowberrow been !39.99 for a month!

    Yes
    But only by 1p
    The supermarkets are taking the mick
    Luckily I only drive twice a week as a rule and both are local food shopping trips
    £20 in fuel usually lasts me a month even with extra short journeys

    Mixed your price up with Angelic’s, but the one in Abergavenny has been consistently at least 13p cheaper when prices in supermarkets were very high, haven’t been to Abergavenny for a while as work from home so don’t often buy fuel. Went to London last week so filled up in Newport,

    You’d negate any cost savings by burning the fuel actually GETTING there!!!

    Round two of Dowden v Raynerr... and after her bruising of last week no change here today............... [ I currently do not have an inkling whom I might vote next year and nothing really inspires ]

    Rayner thinks that trying to be humerous is the way to make it seem like she is clever! unfortunately someone else must be writing her scripts and she really does not have a lot to say!
    Started with "history" and stated last time a primeminster missed 2 sessions was MARCH 1996, and compared herself to lord John Prescott and he to lord Heseltine just to get joke in... Failed .. Dowden replied the reasoning of Rishi BEING ABSENT like the NATO conference etc and really slapped her and the opposition down! [ listen to it! ]
    Brought up home ownership mortgages etc fro comments made 27 years ago AND COMPARED TO TODAY! again a bit of a wrist slap! as record house building is current trend [ although in IMO it is not doing so with consideration to green belt and historical areas ]
    Child poverty .. up 75% ... says Labour had a fantastic record at lowering child poverty .. first pass Dowden puts her right, Rayner brings in current climate of inflation as a reply to first pass querying 400,000 children out of poverty .. Dowden replies and a quick flash to Rayner showed sat wth a face like a slapped ass... She then brings 400,000 kids into poverty and why ... dowden starts putting her right .. slsp slap slap camera flash shows her looking at script and what to do with her long face! ..
    after her next to last q Dowden set her straight with the real figures and labours anti inflation strategy ... after last Q... she must have felt a new script writer needed for next week totally gunned down ......... [ listen to it 10 mins in ]

    LOOKING FORWARD to next week clash ............... and hope we never get her as a PM

    She's better off kneeling down, and is obviously used to it with her and Capt Hindsight embarressing themselves by publicly supporting BLM

    As did Sky and all the other worthy and woke companies and institutions, until the truth finally dawned on them that it was all a scam.

    I’m not a fan of Rayner, but she has a point, no amount of smart non answers from Dowden will get away from the hardship people today are facing, if the Torries don’t acknowledge the problem, how are they going to deal with them. He didn’t once answer the question asked of him. Bottom line is in the real world people know how bad it is right now and I’m afraid most people blame a lot of the difficulties, and rightly so after 13 years of their stewardship, on the Tories.
